Author Notes:I over-bought walnuts at hChristmas time and had to change from my usual list of favorites. I knew if I substituted walnuts for pecans or almonds uncertain recipes, no one would be happy, so I played around until I found something that would "wow" the gang. This one did it! It is a little fragile. I wouldn't ship these. However the crumbles make a great ice cream topping. We have a local gourmet ice cream company in Milwaukee called Purple Door. They make a whiskey ice cream that is amazing. I'd crumble these cookies o top. Delish! —Julianne M. Ravely
